Cone Effects and Shredders
Just curious, although it seems simple the rules for Shredders and Spray Weapons do not explicitly state whether these weapons use the Cone rules from pg. 194 of the Area Effect Weapon section (Combat and Other Actions chapter). By and large the rest of the Weapons chapter cites pages explicitly for things like shock (for say Zap rounds or Stunner beams), or area effect weapons under grenades and seekers. Does this mean that shredders and other futuristic shotguns do not benefit from the cone-rules, or is this simply an over-sight in linking. Personally I am using the cone-rules for shredders and other shotguns but I am also surprised that there are no actual 'shotgun'-shotguns in there that use similar rounds to that used by the other firearms. Comments?

Re: Cone Effects and Shredders
My take on it is they use the Cone Effect rules and can be fired in SA, BF, or FA modes
